2012-2013 NFL Thread
According to USA Today's Nate Davis, "it was clear" during Tuesday's minicamp practice that Peyton Manning's velocity on deep passes isn't the same. Davis suggested Manning "may not have the liveliest arm on his team," on a roster that also includes Caleb Hanie, Brock Osweiler, and Adam Weber. http://www.rotoworld.com/headlines/nfl/234...p-ball-velocity

QUOTE (juddling @ Jun 13, 2012 -> 05:58 AM) I think next season on Mad Men, Pete should take some self-defense classes or maybe some boxing lessons. I'm wondering which season they decide to make him a serial killer.

The Jose Quintana Appreciation Thread
Who knew this kid would come up here and dazzle and delight Sox fans through four starts? Can he keep it up? Do we have a guy we can depend on for the next 5 years? I think yes. In Quintana I trust.

Soriano
QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jun 13, 2012 -> 02:52 AM) I feel that he's gotten a free pass all year. He's been just awful. Even his defense has been subpar. He must've found himself a crazy piece of ass that's taking up all his concentration.

AND THAT'S A WHITE SOX WINNER!!
QUOTE (pittshoganerkoff @ Jun 13, 2012 -> 06:07 AM) I heard a different version. Apparently, KW was eating breakfast and he consulted his Alpha Bits to see who he should sign to fill in for Morel. When a series of O's popped up in his cereal bowl he knew he had to get Orlando. It was later determined that KW was actually eating Cheerios. This post is so f***ing epic.

That game went as expected. Oh, and if Rose had Durant and Harden on his team he'd have a PER of 40.

Prometheus Thread
People are strange. I thought this movie was amazing, others are hating it. It generally seems to be well-received. I am, however, an admitted fanboy of the entire Alien universe and read the books, but I loved the movie and so did my wife who had never seen anything Alien. To each his own, but I will defend Prometheus with my life!

Soriano
QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jun 12, 2012 -> 12:45 PM) Soriano is playing on one leg, if you dont believe me watch a game. I ran that way the last couple of years with a bad knee injury, he's basically worthless. Well, he's not exactly worthless. He's actually been tearing it up for 1.5 months since he switched to a lighter bat - see .944 OPS in May and 1.170 OPS in June. Still, I'm not really interested unless the Cubs paid 90% of his contract and took Rios.

Work/College/Finance
QUOTE (Y2HH @ Jun 12, 2012 -> 10:47 AM) You know what helps more than a degree? A degree that's actually worth something to the world. True. I begged my then 18 and now 19 year old cousin to not get a history degree. That little idiot.

Work/College/Finance
QUOTE (Alpha Dog @ Jun 12, 2012 -> 10:02 AM) Flip burgers for a few years, learn the biz and you can get promoted to manager in a few years and be making upper $20's low $30's 3 years after you graduate high school. Work for a corporate owned store and there is potential to go into those ranks as well. College today is almost a joke, depending on what you are going for. A History major is just a fancy name for the next barrista at Starbucks. I have a senior in college right now working for me as an intern and she is dumb as a box of rocks. Zero common sense and no clue how the world works. She is a marketing major and can spout off all the marketing buzzwords you want, but it isn't helping her. I have had 3 salespeople in the last 3 years and the best one only finished high school. Well, there's always dumb people regardless of degree, but the degree certainly helps.

Prometheus Thread
QUOTE (DukeNukeEm @ Jun 12, 2012 -> 01:24 AM) Alright, I saw it, read the reactions and I am so insanely disappointed with people's perceptions of this movie its out of control. Especially the opinions people have surrounding David and its motivations. You aren't supposed to get where David is coming from when he's doing what he does. His unwavering reliance and reason makes his motives impossible for a human to understand. Remember when Shaw tells him he'd never understand why she did what she did because she has a soul, and how nobody is really questioning Shaw's motivations of even Idris Elba's sudden willingness to sacrifice himself to save humanity? We get why the human's in that movie behave the way we do because we can relate to their existence by way of our own. We dont really know why the Engineers did what they thought they had to do or why David suddenly gets all nutty because their minds are not structured the way ours are. Also, it's a pretty good explanation of David's motivations. He was built as a tester, he asks Holloway if he's willing to do anything to learn more prior to putting the black stuff in his drink. That was permission. I think this movie is being shredded by people who aren't really thinking it through. There might be one or two "huh?" moments, but beyond that the movie explained things rather well.

Work/College/Finance
QUOTE (Y2HH @ Jun 12, 2012 -> 09:50 AM) I do realize that some people accumulated a mountain of student loan debt to get degrees that would take forever to pay off that debt...but didn't they know BEFORE they graduated the average of what such a degree would pay them and think about that? Yeah, but the alternative is being a telemarketer or flipping cheeseburgers or bartending. You can't even get a sales position these days without a degree. Also, at 18, you are thinking more about the fun you'll have in the coming years in college than about the repercussions of borrowing for a degree. These days, in most cases you just have to go to college if you want a rewarding position. It's not a choice.

2011-2012 NHL Thread
QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jun 12, 2012 -> 08:55 AM) f*** him. All his hometown teams have won titles in the last decade and now his adopted hockey team wins too? Stop attending all these games and put some more work in on your s*** website. (Yes, I know you were being sarcastic, but I had to add on to it) No, I agree. My opinion of Bill Simmons has really flipped since his new site and the quality of his work has dwindled.
